Re: Press release for 2013 Central Pa Dirt
Trackin Show
The 30th annual Central Pa Dirt Trackin Show is in
the record books now and I survived my first year as
the promoter/owner of the show. The show started out
slow with snow on Friday afternoon which created
many traffic and travel issues.
Thanks to all who braved the elements to come out
and see the Ms Dirt Trackin contest. Thanks to all
the contestants who made it to the show and
congratulations to Brittany “Boots” Coleman for
winning the crown. I know she will represent the
show well.
Saturday was a much
better day weather wise. The crowd was good all day
with the vendors having a good day. We started a new
tradition this year with racing seminars put on by 6
different speakers. All were very well attended and
went well so we will build upon that for the 2014
show.
Saturday night we
honored the track champions who were in attendance
and we brought back an autograph session so the fans
could get their favorite driver’s autograph. The
were 19 drivers who signed autographs. The drivers
who signed autographs were
Greg Hodnett, Jason
Covert, Gene Knaub, Matt Wallace, Andy Fries, Adam
Wilt, Frankie Herr, Greg Foster, Tim Wagaman, Jake
Jones, Zach Eucalono, Jordan & Hunter Mackison,
Chris Spidle, Craig Morgan, Brian Allman & McGruff
the crime dog, Kenny Edkins and Misti Kopp. A big
thank you to all who gave their time to sign
autographs.
Saturday night the show
hosted a very important Benefit Auction for a very
special former driver Scott Ausherman who has been
suffering from the effects of Frontal Lobe Dementia
of the brain. This has left him unable to work and
in need of 24/7 care which his wife Candi is giving
him. With the efforts of many people the auction
raised over $10,000 for Scott and Candi which was
fantastic. Thank you to all who helped with the
auction by donating, organizing or buying auction
items.
Sunday was family day
sponsored by Timberview Veterinary Hospital and
Canine Rescue. We had dogs brought in which were
available for adoption. It was a popular event and
some of the dogs were adopted which was great.
The show wrapped up with the awards being presented
Sunday afternoon.
It was a great show
which we can build on and make it bigger and better
for 2014. I would like to personally thank everyone
who helped make this show a success in my first
year.
Thank you to all the
vendors, cars on display, my staff, the speedways in
attendance, and all attendees of the show.
